Previews Preferences
Use the controls in the Previews preference pane to set how Aperture creates and displays
preview images.
The Previews preference pane contains the following controls:
• “New projects automatically generate previews” checkbox: To set Aperture to create
previews for the images in all new projects and new libraries, select this checkbox.
Deselect this checkbox if you don’t want previews created for images in new projects.
• “Use embedded JPEG from camera when possible” checkbox: Select this checkbox to set
Aperture to use the JPEG thumbnail of an image produced by the camera, if available.
• “Share previews with iLife and iWork” pop-up menu: Choose whether to enable sharing
of JPEG preview images with iLife and iWork applications.
• Photo Preview pop-up menu: To set a maximum pixel size for your previews, choose a
size from this pop-up menu.
• “Photo Preview quality” slider: To change the image quality of the previews, drag the
slider. The higher the quality setting, the more disk space the previews require.
